Caliban

“	This is salvation. Since the Dark Lord's desertion, the Nine Circles of Hell have been breaking down. I, Caliban, will restore stability and do what Lucifer failed to do... conquer the Earth. Remake it as our tenth circle and enslave the tribes of mortal and witch.	”
	— Caliban^[src]

Caliban is a recurring character of Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. He is portrayed by Sam Corlett.

Caliban is a clay demon, molded from the clay of the pit itself, and the self-proclaimed Prince of Hell. He challenges Sabrina to the "Unholy Regalia." In the original timeline, Caliban defeats Sabrina and becomes King of Hell. He went on to lead the Infernal Armies on a crusade to claim the Earth as the Tenth Circle. He failed after being defeated by the pagans. In the current timeline created by Sabrina, who went back in time to save her friends and family, Caliban loses the Unholy Regalia and is incased in stone. He is later released and becomes the husband of Sabrina Morningstar. After getting sucked into the Void by Sabrina Spellman, he is left trapped within at Sabrina's request when her friends rescue everyone else.

While Sabrina and Prudence were doing research on the prince of hell that was going to arrive in Greendale soon, Sabrina concluded that it wasn't Caliban. Prudence mentioned there was a rumour that "Caliban was sexy."^[2]
Caliban was stated to be the heir of Beelzebub.^[3]
